Jacinda Oakgrove, 30, of Minneapolis, was shot on the night of September 15, 2025, and died three days later on September 18 at Hennepin Healthcare. Gunfire erupted around 10 p.m. near an encampment just north of East Lake Street on South 28th Avenue. An off-duty Minneapolis Police Department officer working at a nearby Target heard the shots after people ran inside reporting gunfire.

The scene was chaotic; seven people were injured. Three women and one man were taken from the scene to Hennepin Healthcare, one man walked into Children’s Hospital before being transferred, one woman walked into Abbott Northwestern, and another man later arrived at Regions Hospital. Investigators recovered evidence of gunfire throughout the encampment and are still working to determine the sequence of events. Police said it was unknown whether this shooting was related to another incident near Lake Street and Stevens Avenue earlier that day. A man was arrested on September 18 for potential aiding and abetting after the fact and released pending any formal complaint. No suspects have been publicly named or charged in Jacinda Oakgrove’s killing; the case is MPD number 25-265656.
